The relationship between blogger and reader is no different. If you want your readers to keep coming back, share your content, and take any actions you ask of them (such as buying from your business), you\u2019ll need to cultivate trust.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Persuasion Nation reported that&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.persuasion-nation.com\/blog\/18-stunning-blogging-statistics-that-prove-why-blogging-is-important\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">81% of consumers<\/a>&nbsp;trust advice and information from blogs. But all blogs are not created equal, and readers are more and more discerning about which voices they\u2019ll trust. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>In other words, if you <a href=\"https:\/\/constantdelights.com\/post\/start-successful-blog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">create a trustworthy blog<\/a>, you can have a real influence on your readers\u2019 behavior.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So why do audiences trust some blogs more than others? Let\u2019s look at some of the critical factors involved in building trust and how you can make your site more trustworthy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/vyper.io\/user\/register?redirect=freeaccount\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.vyper.io\/8f0dc41a-0e11-4f01-8dde-b24e6eaefdb0\/-\/stretch\/off\/-\/preview\/1024x1024\/\" alt=\"VYPER Free Account Signup SPI\" class=\"wp-image-8515\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Are the Main Factors That Create or Break Trust?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cTrust takes years to build, seconds to break, and forever to repair.\u201d This saying has been attributed to many people, and no-one is sure who really said it. Regardless, it is true. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Trust can be quite a fragile thing, so you need to ensure you\u2019re paying attention to it and taking care of it at all times.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/hbr.org\/2019\/02\/the-3-elements-of-trust\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">a Harvard Business Review<\/a>&nbsp;study, three main elements make up trust (or lack of it) in a professional context. Let\u2019s look at each of them and how they might apply to building a trustworthy blog.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Positive Relationships<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This aspect of trust is all about how you relate to other people. HBR\u2019s study indicated that people trust those that are co-operative, good at conflict resolution, and balance their desire for results with concern for others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Though blogging is often a solitary endeavor, you should always approach it as a conversation between you and your readers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before you publish something, ask yourself if it paints you as a trustworthy person. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Have you been truthful and kind? Have you said anything inflammatory?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s not to say you can\u2019t have strong views or speak about controversial issues. You absolutely can. But you must make sure you\u2019re doing so from a solutions-oriented perspective that takes others\u2019 needs and feelings into account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Good Judgement and Expertise<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Simply put, people trust those who make the right decisions and know what they\u2019re talking about. In other words, credibility is everything. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Be honest about your experience, knowledge, and skills, and always take the time to fact-check anything you\u2019re unsure of.<\/strong> (We\u2019ll talk a bit more about fact-checking later).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Never pretend that you are infallible or know everything. In fact, admitting you don\u2019t know something or were wrong makes you more trustworthy because it shows you are aware of your own limitations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Consistency<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>People who are consistent show up repeatedly (again and again), walking the walk and talking the talk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, make sure you keep any promises you make to your audience, let them know if something doesn\u2019t go to plan, and consistently show up with great new content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.vyper.io\/59f385e4-2b73-4ddb-93ab-8871bedc0582\/-\/stretch\/off\/-\/preview\/1024x1024\/\" alt=\"The 3 Elements of Trust HBR\" class=\"wp-image-8653\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Source: <strong><em>Harvard Business Review<\/em><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-call-to-action uagb-block-888738a2 wp-block-button uagb-cta__outer-wrap\"><div class=\"uagb-cta__wrap\"><h3 class=\"uagb-cta__title\">FREE: Contest &amp; Giveaway Viral Growth Guide<\/h3><p class=\"uagb-cta__desc\">\u2b50\ufe0f\u2b50\ufe0f\u2b50\ufe0f\u2b50\ufe0f\u2b50\ufe0f &#8212; Download all the guides, checklists, and outlines we use to build and market viral contests.

Why? Because it shows that you take blogging seriously and care about your readers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How often should you blog? That&#8217;s a difficult question because it depends on several factors, including your content&#8217;s length and complexity, how much time you have, and your niche norms. There is no hard and fast answer.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I blog twice a week, on Tuesdays and Fridays, which works for my readers and me. Other bloggers post only once per week or even less often, while some post as much as once a day &#8211; or even more! Alison Green of&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.askamanager.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Ask a Manager<\/a>&nbsp;is an extremely prolific blogger, often posting as many as four times per&nbsp;<em>day&nbsp;<\/em>during the week.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It would be best if you decided on the right frequency for you. As a rule of thumb, I consider anything less than once a week to be too infrequent for all but the most casual hobbyist blogger.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.vyper.io\/43bbd627-1a15-4f67-adbd-adba11181961\/-\/stretch\/off\/-\/preview\/1024x1024\/\" alt=\"how often should you blog\" class=\"wp-image-8654\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Source: <em><strong>Hubspot<\/strong><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Focus on Quality Over Quantity<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you can manage one fantastic post per week, that\u2019s far better than posting five pieces of lackluster content. Yes, frequency matters, but quality is far more critical. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, don\u2019t rush to put out as much content as you possibly can. Instead, make sure each piece is as good as it can possibly be.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are a few simple checks to make sure a piece of content is of high quality:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>How long is the piece? According to Hook Agency, the most&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/hookagency.com\/blog-length\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">optimal length for a blog post<\/a>&nbsp;for SEO purposes is 1760 words. Of course, you don\u2019t need to be that precise! Longform content is excellent, but your blog posts must be at least 300 words long as a basic rule. Anything shorter will be considered \u201cthin content\u201d by search engine crawlers (and probably won\u2019t provide the reader with the depth of information they want).&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Have you linked to other reputable sources as relevant?&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Have you linked to other relevant pieces on your own site? (This is called internal linking, and it\u2019s great both from an SEO perspective and to help readers find more of the type of content they love).&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Have you double-checked the spelling and grammar? Try Grammarly or another grammar checker to help you out.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Does the piece have a cohesive narrative thread and sensible structure?&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re still learning how to write a great blog post, I find this outline infographic by Neil Patel tremendously useful:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.vyper.io\/16e1e1d1-7812-455a-bdd0-87fa9c372863\/-\/stretch\/off\/-\/preview\/1024x1024\/\" alt=\"Anatomy of a blog post\" class=\"wp-image-8640\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Source: Neil Patel<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>As you blog more frequently, it will become second nature. Doing quality control on all your posts might seem very time consuming at first, but your efforts will pay off as great quality content will inspire your readers to trust you &#8211; and to keep coming back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You may even use the help of a <a href=\"https:\/\/pwd.com.au\/services\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">digital marketing agency<\/a> to help craft articles that resonate with your brand and rank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ensure Every Piece of Content Provides Value<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Readers come to your blog for one reason: because it offers them something of value. The value they derive might be actionable advice, interesting information, useful recommendations, or just pure entertainment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>You\u2019ll likely also find that people come to your blog for different reasons and, as such, draw different types of value from it.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each time you write a piece of content, ask yourself: \u201cwhat benefit does this provide to my readers?\u201d If you can\u2019t answer that question, go back to the drawing board, amend the content, or rethink it entirely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re not sure exactly why readers come to your blog or what they want from it, there\u2019s a simple solution: ask them! You could create a reader survey, send an email to everyone who subscribes to your marketing list, post on social media, or create a blog post with open comments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whichever strategy you use, ask your readers why they read your blog, what types of content they find most valuable, and what they\u2019d like to see more of. Use the responses as your guiding light for creating future content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.vyper.io\/228546d1-6d07-474b-8d40-b115a57d5c6f\/-\/stretch\/off\/-\/preview\/1024x1024\/\" alt=\"Customer Feedback\" class=\"wp-image-8656\" style=\"width:500px;height:500px\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Want to learn how to get valuable feedback from your readers and customers?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/vyper.ai\/blog\/customer-feedback\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Click here to learn more about Customer Feedback.<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Be Authentic<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Dictionary.com defines authenticity as \u201cnot false or copied; genuine; real.\u201d In other words: be yourself! There are millions of blogs in the world (over 500 million,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/hostingtribunal.com\/blog\/how-many-blogs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">according to Hosting Tribuna<\/a>l), but nobody else has your experience, your precise combination of knowledge, or your unique voice.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s a fact that might be hard to swallow: anything you can think of has probably been thought of before. Perhaps hundreds, thousands, or millions of times. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But guess what? It doesn\u2019t matter! Because no-one else is you, so no-one else can say it in quite the same way that you can. So stop worrying about being perfectly original, and strive to be authentic instead.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What does being authentic actually mean in the context of blogging? It mostly comes down to being honest, not pretending to be something you\u2019re not, and not trying to imitate someone else. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Attempting to copy the latest blogging superstar won\u2019t elevate you to their level of success. Instead, it\u2019ll make your voice sound fake, and your work will come across as derivative.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Authenticity also encompasses a degree of vulnerability. Of course, you don\u2019t have to delve into your personal life or innermost thoughts if you don\u2019t want to. But there\u2019s nothing more off-putting than a blogger who pretends that their life is perfect, that the success they\u2019ve achieved has been easy, or that they\u2019re always right.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s a great example of authenticity in blogging:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.vyper.io\/aa3ee062-4381-4ba4-9f28-0fc67ea73463\/-\/stretch\/off\/-\/preview\/1024x1024\/\" alt=\"Dr. CBT Mom\" class=\"wp-image-8641\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Source: <strong><em>Dr. CBT Mom<\/em><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a post from Ilyse Dobrow DiMarco, Ph.D., also known as&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/drcbtmom.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Dr. CBT Mom<\/a>, a parenting and mental health blogger.

After all, the more people click a link to the site, the more ad dollars the site makes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.vyper.io\/4d70d2d4-baed-4a46-a755-433fdfac136c\/-\/stretch\/off\/-\/preview\/1024x1024\/\" alt=\"Click Bait What not to do\" class=\"wp-image-8642\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Source: <strong><em>Wikipedia<\/em><\/strong> &#8211; What Not To Do!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>But clickbait is a poor long-term strategy if you\u2019re trying to build trust in your site. Though all of us fall for it sometimes, most savvy internet users can recognize clickbait. It might get people to visit your site to check out your \u201cbait\u201d content, but it won\u2019t earn you their respect, trust, or long-term readership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.vyper.io\/310449ec-e323-4ec9-a61f-6ea8179ea211\/-\/stretch\/off\/-\/preview\/1024x1024\/\" alt=\"Bad Clickbait Examples\" class=\"wp-image-8659\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Source: <em><strong>Blu Leads<\/strong><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead, focus on optimized titles that accurately reflect the post&#8217;s contents and the reader&#8217;s value. Here&#8217;s an example: let&#8217;s imagine you were writing a blog post about how to make money online. A great title might be &#8220;7 Strategies You Can Use to Start an Online Business in 2020&#8221;. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A clickbait headline might be something like, &#8220;These 7 Easy Hacks Will MAKE YOU AN INTERNET MILLIONAIRE!&#8221; See the difference?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you catch yourself sensationalizing your headlines, resist the temptation. Clickbait might attract attention, but it does not inspire trust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Leverage Social Proof<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/topgrowthmarketing.com\/social-validation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Social proof<\/a> theory states that people are more likely to take a particular action if they see others doing it. In the context of business and customer acquisition, social proof usually refers to using positive feedback, such as customer reviews and client testimonials, to encourage purchases.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How does this apply to blogging? Well, you can also use social proof to demonstrate your blog\u2019s credibility. There are numerous ways to do that &#8211; let\u2019s look at a few examples.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you or your blog has been featured in any media outlets, you can create an \u201cas featured in\u2026\u201d section on your homepage. Here\u2019s how married blogging duo Kach Medina Umandap-Howe and Jonathan Howe, of&nbsp;<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twomonkeystravelgroup.com\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Two Monkeys Travel<\/a>, do it:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.vyper.io\/51139c31-08f1-4a44-a158-beb117daf4ba\/-\/stretch\/off\/-\/preview\/1024x1024\/\" alt=\"Two Monkeys Travel Credibility\" class=\"wp-image-8643\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Source: <strong><em>Two Monkeys Travel<\/em><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have received a lot of coverage, you could even create a dedicated media page on your blog.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another option, if your blog has received any positive testimonials or reviews, is to display those prominently. Include them on your homepage, create a testimonials page, or add them to your footer or sidebar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, you can leverage numbers as social proof. If you get a lot of comments, allow readers to see how many comments each post has. If you have a high number of followers or email list subscribers, show that off too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.vyper.io\/e86da685-6766-4ea6-8e27-1097c7da9a27\/-\/stretch\/off\/-\/preview\/1024x1024\/\" alt=\"VYPER Credibility\" class=\"wp-image-8622\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong><em>Social Proof featured on VYPER&#8217;s Home Page<\/em><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Collaborate with Other Bloggers and Influencers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you haven\u2019t yet started collaborating with other bloggers and relevant influencers, you\u2019re missing out on a great opportunity. By working together, you\u2019ll both benefit from a wider reach, access to one another\u2019s audiences, and a chance to get your name out there.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some ways you might want to collaborate:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Guest Posting<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the easiest ways to collaborate with other bloggers is to do a guest post exchange: you write a post for their site, and they write one for yours. Guest posting has many benefits: it increases your reach, helps establish you as a trustworthy voice, and builds backlinks to improve your SEO.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/fatjoe.com\/blog\/monitor-backlinks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Monitoring backlinks<\/a> is crucial for understanding the impact of guest posting on your site&#8217;s SEO performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So if there\u2019s another blogger in your niche that you admire, why not reach out and ask if they\u2019re interested in a collaboration? Make sure that you study their content thoroughly beforehand to offer pitches that align with their audience and voice.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Participate in Blogging Memes and Link-ups<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Blogging memes invite bloggers to write a post based on a particular theme or prompt, then add their posts to a central hub using a linking tool. Sometimes, the rules will state that each participant should read and comment on the other posts. Here\u2019s an example:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.vyper.io\/e2bb7541-925a-4e35-8c70-568248f6ed2c\/-\/stretch\/off\/-\/preview\/1024x1024\/\" alt=\"Mailbox Monday\" class=\"wp-image-8644\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Source: <strong><em>Mailbox Monday<\/em><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mailboxmonday.wordpress.com\/\">Mailbox Monday<\/a> is a weekly book blogging meme from the blog of the same name. Fellow bloggers participate and then add their posts using the Blenza linking tool:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.vyper.io\/876768d0-139f-476f-8c0f-1f1126a8df04\/-\/stretch\/off\/-\/preview\/1024x1024\/\" alt=\"Blenza Linking Tool\" class=\"wp-image-8645\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Aside from providing useful prompts and theme ideas for posts, taking part in blogging memes and link-ups is an excellent opportunity to get to know your fellow bloggers in your niche. It\u2019s also another way to build links back to your site organically.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do Social Media Takeovers<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Social media takeovers are becoming increasingly popular as a collaboration tactic between bloggers and influencers. Why not work with someone in your niche that you trust, and take over one another\u2019s Twitter feed or Instagram Stories for a day? Takeovers can be enormous fun, as well as allowing you to expand your audience.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/vyper.ai\/blog\/social-media-presence\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.vyper.io\/bfb4aec9-a8b7-42d2-b486-f3f68ae719d1\/-\/stretch\/off\/-\/preview\/1024x1024\/\" alt=\"Social Media Presence\" class=\"wp-image-8131\" style=\"width:768px;height:480px\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>Looking to master social media and create a strong online presence for your brand?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/vyper.ai\/blog\/social-media-presence\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Click here to learn more about growing your social media presence.<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Check Your Facts and Cite Your Sources<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you cite a fact, statistic, or figure, be prepared to back it up. In general, that means linking to a source and\/or naming the source of information. This serves two purposes: it shows your audience that you do your research, which increases their trust in you, and it gives them somewhere else to go if they\u2019d like further information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, never state something as fact without checking first. It\u2019s easy to misremember something, even slightly. People repeating things they think they know as fact is one of the main ways that misinformation spreads. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Claiming something that turns out to be untrue will harm your credibility, and your readers will not hesitate to point it out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s how I did it recently:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.vyper.io\/6e2656fa-d494-4f66-aade-f85d7ce7d186\/-\/stretch\/off\/-\/preview\/1024x1024\/\" alt=\"Fiction writing\" class=\"wp-image-8646\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In this post about the viability of making a living as a fiction writer, I cited statistics from the Society of Authors, Authors\u2019 Guild, and a respected publishing expert. By linking to my sources, my readers can understand where I got my information and find out more if they wish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s much better to check your facts before you publish than to have to publish a retraction, correction, or apology at a later date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Be Choosy about Your Advertising<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As you start to build a readership for your blog and grow your traffic, you&#8217;ll inevitably receive requests from brands or advertisers looking to work with you. This could take many forms: they might offer to write a guest post for your blog, send you a free product in exchange for a review, or ask to buy advertising space or a sponsored post.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many newer bloggers make the mistake of uncritically saying yes to any (or all) of these requests. Instead, you should pause and ask yourself if the request aligns with your long-term goals. If so, you can proceed. If not, politely decline. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Overloading your site with ads will reduce its quality and credibility in the eyes of your readers. Poor guest posts that offer no value will also drag your site&#8217;s overall quality down and harm your readers&#8217; trust in your content.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Collaborations are great, and working with advertisers is one of the best ways to&nbsp;<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/eduardklein.com\/how-to-make-money-with-blog\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">monetize your blog<\/a>. But be picky about what you accept if you want your readers to keep seeing you as trustworthy.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Be Patient and Give It Time<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The fact is that building a great blog and earning your readers\u2019 trust takes time. You cannot expect them to trust you straight away. Instead, it would be best if you kept working at it, providing a consistent stream of great content and remaining true to your mission and values.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While you can start getting traffic to your blog from day one, you won\u2019t build a broad and loyal audience overnight. It can take weeks to months to start seeing substantial results. But stick with it, and you\u2019ll get there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bonus: Capture Your Readers&#8217; Attention with Engaging Content<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Jeff Goins is a master blogger and a 5-time best-selling author.
